Meet Dr. Mehta

I’m Dr. Pamela Mehta, an orthopedic surgeon, healthcare entrepreneur, and renowned medical advisor based in San Jose, California. My journey began with a deep desire to make medicine more human, where every patient feels seen, heard, and cared for beyond their diagnosis.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my voice across digital platforms and in the media, reaching thousands with education, honest insights, and the combination of clinical expertise and real-world perspective.

I’m also deeply dedicated to lifting up women in medicine, so they can thrive in their careers without losing sight of their own well-being."

Beyond the White Coat

The side of Dr. Mehta you don’t always see online.

Family, motherhood

Mom of two energetic boys and a sweet girl who keeps her on her toes (and boys occasionally on the soccer field).

Grew up dancing ballet. Now swaps pirouettes for Pilates.

Never says no to a good latte, a cozy corner, and a pair of sneakers she can walk miles in.

Advocacy

Dr. Mehta felt the need for sharing her voice online after her own experience navigating motherhood, medicine, and missing information.

She saw the gaps, felt the overwhelm, and decided to be the voice she wished she had.

Now she’s helping others feel seen, supported, and informed.

Lifestyle + values

Big believer in science, strength, and showing up as your full self (messy bun and all).

Her ideal weekend? Farmers’ market strolls, movement that feels good, and off-screen time with family.

Rooted in authenticity, fueled by purpose.
